The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 4.14.326-245.539. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2264 advisory.

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's IP framework for transforming packets (XFRM subsystem). This issue     may allow a malicious user with CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges to directly dereference a NULL pointer in     xfrm_update_ae_params(), leading to a possible kernel crash and denial of service. (CVE-2023-3772)

    A flaw was found in the Netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel. The xt_u32 module did not validate the     fields in the xt_u32 structure. This flaw allows a local privileged attacker to trigger an out-of-bounds     read by setting the size fields with a value beyond the array boundaries, leading to a crash or     information disclosure. (CVE-2023-39192)

    A flaw was found in the Netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel. The sctp_mt_check did not validate the     flag_count field. This flaw allows a local privileged (CAP_NET_ADMIN) attacker to trigger an out-of-bounds     read, leading to a crash or information disclosure. (CVE-2023-39193)

    A flaw was found in the XFRM subsystem in the Linux kernel. The specific flaw exists within the processing     of state filters, which can result in a read past the end of an allocated buffer. This flaw allows a local     privileged (CAP_NET_ADMIN) attacker to trigger an out-of-bounds read, potentially leading to an     information disclosure. (CVE-2023-39194)

    A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: cls_fw component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation.

    When fw_change() is called on an existing filter, the whole tcf_result struct is always copied into the     new instance of the filter. This causes a problem when updating a filter bound to a class, as     tcf_unbind_filter() is always called on the old instance in the success path, decreasing filter_cnt of the     still referenced class and allowing it to be deleted, leading to a use-after-free.

    We recommend upgrading past commit 76e42ae831991c828cffa8c37736ebfb831ad5ec. (CVE-2023-4207)

    A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation.

    Due to a race condition between nf_tables netlink control plane transaction and nft_set element garbage     collection, it is possible to underflow the reference counter causing a use-after-free vulnerability.

    We recommend upgrading past commit 3e91b0ebd994635df2346353322ac51ce84ce6d8. (CVE-2023-4244)

    The upstream commit describes this issue as follows:

    The missing IP_SET_HASH_WITH_NET0 macro in ip_set_hash_netportnet can lead to the use of wrong     `CIDR_POS(c)` for calculating array offsets, which can lead to integer underflow. As a result, it leads to     slab out-of-bound access. (CVE-2023-42753)

    A flaw was found in rsvp_change(). The root cause is an slab-out-of-bound access, but since the offset to     the original pointer is an `unsign int` fully controlled by users, the behavior is usually a wild pointer     access. (CVE-2023-42755)

    An issue was discovered in drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb_main.c in the IGB driver in the Linux kernel     before 6.5.3. A buffer size may not be adequate for frames larger than the MTU. (CVE-2023-45871)

    A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's af_unix component can be exploited to achieve local     privilege escalation.

    The unix_stream_sendpage() function tries to add data to the last skb in the peer's recv queue without     locking the queue. Thus there is a race where unix_stream_sendpage() could access an skb locklessly that     is being released by garbage collection, resulting in use-after-free.

    We recommend upgrading past commit 790c2f9d15b594350ae9bca7b236f2b1859de02c. (CVE-2023-4622)

    A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: sch_hfsc (HFSC qdisc traffic control)     component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation.

    If a class with a link-sharing curve (i.e. with the HFSC_FSC flag set) has a parent without a link-sharing     curve, then init_vf() will call vttree_insert() on the parent, but vttree_remove() will be skipped in     update_vf(). This leaves a dangling pointer that can cause a use-after-free.

    We recommend upgrading past commit b3d26c5702c7d6c45456326e56d2ccf3f103e60f. (CVE-2023-4623)

    A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: sch_qfq component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation.

    When the plug qdisc is used as a class of the qfq qdisc, sending network packets triggers use-after-free     in qfq_dequeue() due to the incorrect .peek handler of sch_plug and lack of error checking in     agg_dequeue().

    We recommend upgrading past commit 8fc134fee27f2263988ae38920bc03da416b03d8. (CVE-2023-4921)
